Contador in the end was too strong for Armstrong but you were right to pick Andy Schleck as the man to watch. But you got the top three right, though not necessarily in the right order... With presience like that, perhaps you should be working for the Met Office. They are in Devon now, aren't they? Not a bad prediction in the end, Bernard.

As an Australian, I've got to put my money on Cadel. He's come close and this will be his year! I'll enjoy watching. Cheers Marg Hi Bernard,

Ivan Basso won the Giro in 2006 (not 2007) and was the #1 favorite to win the 2006 tour de france (not 2007). He was suspended the day before the Prologue due to alleged involvement in OP. Basso just raced the Giro finishing 5th and subsequently raced a few stages at thd Dauphine Libere but abandoned due to fever/stomach problem. He does not plan to ride this year's tour de france. His next major race will be the Vuelta in the fall. You might want to get the facts straight..
